Trump hating former CNN producer John Griffin has been sentenced to more than 19 years in prison for child sex crimes, according to RadarOnline.com. Griffin, who previously worked as a producer for Chris Cuomo, was fired from CNN in December 2021 following his arrest for suspected child sex crimes. Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to coercing a 9-year-old girl into sexual activity.
According to Griffin’s indictment, he used messaging applications such as Kik and Google Hangouts to persuade parents to allow him to train their daughters to be sexually submissive. In June 2020, Griffin advised a mother of two daughters, aged 9 and 13, that it was her responsibility to ensure her older daughter was “trained properly.” He later provided the mother with over $3,000 for plane tickets, enabling her and her 9-year-old daughter to fly from Nevada to Boston. Griffin then picked them up in his Tesla and took them to his house in Ludlow, where the daughter engaged in unlawful sexual activity.

“In June 2020, Griffin advised a mother of 9 and 13-year-old daughters that the mother’s responsibility was to see that her older daughter was ‘trained properly,’” the convicted child sex offender’s indictment read.
“Griffin later transferred over $3,000 to the mother for plane tickets so the mother and her 9-year-old daughter could fly from Nevada to Boston’s Logan Airport,” the document continued. “The mother and child flew to Boston in July of 2020, where Griffin picked them up in his Tesla and drove them to his Ludlow house.”
“At the house, the daughter was directed to engage in, and did engage in, unlawful sexual activity.”
Griffin’s arrest led to his immediate termination from CNN. The network issued a statement expressing their serious concern about the charges and announced an investigation into the allegations. Griffin’s sentencing hearing saw his young victim, referred to as Jane Doe to protect her identity, appear via video conference alongside her grandmother. Jane Doe expressed her loss of trust and the emotional impact of Griffin’s actions, stating, “I’ll never trust anyone again. You make me sad and angry.”
The sentencing of John Griffin serves as a reminder of the gravity of child sex crimes and the consequences individuals face when engaging in such heinous acts. The case has brought attention to the need for continued efforts to protect and support victims while holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
